Bearing in mind just how discredited New Labour have become. Bearing in mind how rare it is for any party in the UK to remain in government for more than three terms. Bearing in mind how exactly 12 months ago, the Tories had a 22% lead over Labour.
Bearing all that in mind, I find it quite astonishing it isn't a foregone conclusion that the Tories will walk it on thursday with a huge majority….and it isn't a foregone conclusion.
It is a reflection on how the Tory Party and it's policies, have utterly failed to inspire the voters.
The Tories will probably win on thursday. But their government will almost certainly be weak and without a strong mandate. Nothing to be proud of really, specially when you consider the British electorate has tendency to kick parties out of power after a few terms anyway – whether they've preformed well or not.
